Reminder that the Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted supposed anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.
Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%.
But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.

This is not an alarmist reaction given how many of our systems have either been broken, hamstrung, or defunded. Furthermore, the ongoing attempts to ignore the judicial system make this paramount.

The reason these folks didn't go on the exchanges in the first place is because they don't make enough money. Oh, and they're cutting the ACA subsidies too so even more people will lose insurance.

The #FBI Director calling this attack here in #Boulder an anti-Semitic attack before the Boulder police spokesman doing so is an insanely irresponsible means of seeking to drive a specific narrative.
This city stands by its Jewish citizens. I have no doubts it will continue to.
